What is the antonym (opposite) of the word ‘Affluent’?

Explanation

‘Affluent’ describes having a great deal of money or wealth, so its opposite is ‘destitute,’ meaning extremely poor and lacking basic necessities, as in ‘The charity works to support destitute families in the region.’ The remaining options, ‘wealthy,’ ‘prosperous,’ and ‘rich,’ are all synonyms of ‘affluent,’ making ‘destitute’ the correct antonym.
